SimSig is a mixed donationware [1] and commercial Windows-based train simulator of modern railway signalling systems in Great Britain, from the point of view of a railway signaller. [2] Users have also had success running SimSig on Linux using Wine. [3]
The software is currently produced by SoftRail (formerly Signal Computer Consultants) for Windows-based computers. The simulator is operated from the perspective of a CTC dispatcher. Track diagrams similar to actual CTC displays are provided, and train operations run according to a timetable. Operations can be run in real time or adjusted fast ...
A train simulator (also railroad simulator or railway simulator) is a computer-based simulation of rail transport operations. They are generally large complicated software packages modeling a 3D virtual reality world implemented both as commercial trainers, and consumer computer game software with 'play modes' which lets the user interact by stepping inside the virtual world.
The locomotive decoders are dependent on AC track power (50 or 60 Hz) to synchronize the command receiver. Thus, TMCC can only operate on AC track power. Because TMCC utilizes the DCC command codes, it is possible to control TMCC with DCC compatible software. MTH Electric Trains included support to interface and control TMCC with its DCS system.
HVR [note 1] uses a 3D Planning Environment in which one can plan, build and test a model railway layout. However, being released many years ago, it has fairly low quality graphics. Hornby Track-Master, on the other hand, also allows for the development of a shopping list for every thing needed to build a track, but it has no 3D whereas HVR does.
tracking of equipped train location and track occupancies via the data link, and unequipped train location and track occupancies via voice reports and manual entry; speed enforcement for equipped trains; enforcement of limits of authority for equipped trains; pacing for fuel economy for equipped trains; monitoring and control of wayside systems;
The Location Determination System (LDS) software uses a highly sophisticated dual feed from two GPS antennas to fix the train’s location. The software compares these two GPS inputs then further compares onboard sensors, the tachometer, and the track database to exactly fix the train’s location.
RailDriver is a desktop cab controller for train simulation software. It replaces keyboard and mouse operation as far as possible to provide a more realistic train driving experience. It replaces keyboard and mouse operation as far as possible to provide a more realistic train driving experience.
